After the Cripple of Innishman,, McDonagh began to get darker. This isn't as dark as Lieutenant of Inishmore but last part is pretty dark. For actors learning lines this is a nightmare (but worth it)

Braswyn

This play outlines the human condition and is a case study on family dynamics played out with a backdrop of a small, Irish town. I highly recommend reading this wonderful work.

Tall

Taut, funny, engaging, harrowing, and ultimately devastating. The best of Mr McDonagh's contemporary stories. Go see it wherever you live.

Love Me

The book was in a great condition, and it arrived on time for my Irish Literature class. Thank you so very much!!

I never received the play. I am very disappointed as I genuinely enjoyed my friend's copy and needed a copy for class.
